SOLVED: “Open with explorer” disabled in IE11

Dear All, 
I have made a bootstrap customize masterpage. The "Open with Explorer" option is not enable once i enable my custom master page on the other hand its working perfect with the sharepoint default master page.

I fixed it by replacing the following line:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

Change the following with bootstrap
// this is boot strap compatible content

<meta content="IE=edge" http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible">


//this is sharepoint compatible content

<SharePoint:IECompatibleMetaTag runat="server" />



Following other causes that create the same issue 
1) Added the site to Compatibility View settings
2) Local service WebClient Must be started 

I have enable this option with IE 11 64bit most of the places i found the people said it's only working with 32bit IE 

I hope this article will save your time 

*********** For Enabling Web Client In Windows Server 2016, you need to follow following steps *************






We’re having a problem opening this location in File Explorer. Add this website to your Trusted Sites list and try again.



In case you are using Windows Server 2016 and you want to connect to your SharePoint sites using the Explorer mode, there are big chances to encounter “We’re having a problem opening this location in File Explorer.” warning message.
That’s because the WebClient windows service (responsible for the “translation” into Explorer mode) is by default not installed with the Windows Server 2016 OS. The same story was also on Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2 (and the fix was to activate the “Desktop Experience” feature from the Server Manager console).



This time (in case of Windows Server 2016), in order to get the WebClient windows service you need to activate the “WebDAV Redirector” feature.















And in order to work properly, you need to make sure the WebClient windows service and Trusted Sites are properly configured:
1. Adjust the WebClient windows service settings via Windows Registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters).





Restart the WebClient Windows Service.





2. Make sure you add your SharePoint sites part of the Internet Explorer Trusted sites list.





For the Trusted Sites Zone configure the Automatic logon.





Once these are done, the Open with Explorer mode will work.

SharePoint calculated column and hyperlink or Link (no workflows or scripts needed)

This is a process how you make the Link column in your sharepoint link original url Create a calculated column which concatenate the url text with an existing column value. This seems to be an easy task, except one thing: SharePoint doest not render hyperlink in calculated column by default. For example, I have a list with 2 columns: Search term and Google Search. Google Search is a calculated column with this formula Now, this is what I will get by default: There are a few ways to fix this problem. Usually people will recommend you to create a Hyperlink column instead and create a workflow to update the Hyperlink value ( http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/ar/sharepoint2010customization/thread/32d32e47-3256-4806-8775-c250b6243038 ) . Or, you can place a script on the page that loop through the HTML nodes and replace the unfriendly html tags with a hyperlink as described here http://practicalsharepoint.blogspot.com/2011/10/dynamic-hyperlinks-in-calculated.html ...
